So there is a buzz around this…

She has to win both Ohio and Texas comfortably, or she’s out,” said one Democratic superdelegate who has endorsed Mrs. Clinton, and who spoke on condition of anonymity to share a candid assessment. “The campaign is starting to come to terms with that.” Campaign advisers, also speaking privately in order to speak plainly, confirmed this view.

Big whoop. A wise woman once said, “You have to approach every state like you are ten points behind.” Or something to that effect.

I wonder if OJ Simpson ever thinks to himself…

“If I had it to do all over again I wouldn’t kill those people.”

Didn’t someone recently say that one of the big problems we have as a state is that there are too many worthless bozos suckling on the state teet?

I’m surprised Dave posted on Nancy Wagner if he was going to put up such weak shit.

He is basically saying:

Well, nepotism is a problem throughout government and you can’t really single out Nancy Wagner because she is just doing what everyone else (Minner, Keeley, Cook and about 12 others) are doing.

Only…she is not doing what everyone else is doing. She raised the bar.

As Delaware Dem points out,

“…Nancy Wagner has slipped in a yearly earmark to ensure that her husband is not laying around the house not doing anything. If that’s not an abuse of her office, I am not sure what is. If it is not an ethics violation, then why do we even have ethics guidelines?”

And if that were not enough – Wagner had already indicated that she and propriety were not even remotely acquainted with each other when she accepted a job at DSU to basically be an in house lobbyist. And if you think that the last statement is hyperbole, here is the brazenly candid DSU press release that discuss the “Community Relations” she was going to be manage.

This is not run of the mill perfidy. The “the Dems do it too” defense is weak at best.

It was abusy posting day – but this needs some more above the fold time.

In addition, the package includes tax breaks for businesses and would take some steps to boost the ailing housing market. To that end, the legislation would temporarily raise to $729,750 the limit on Federal Housing Administration loans and the cap on loans that mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can buy. Raising that cap on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should provide relief in the market for “jumbo” mortgages — those exceeding $417,000. The credit crunch hit that market hard, making it very difficult, if not impossible, for people to get those loans. And, that has plunged the housing market even deeper into turmoil.

Bush urged Congress to pass additional legislation that would revamp Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and modernize the Depression-era Federal Housing Administration, which insures mortgages for low-and middle-income borrowers. The president also said Congress should approve legislation allowing state housing agencies to issue tax-free bonds to help squeezed homeowners refinance their mortgages.

gee, I don’t smell lobbyists on this push do you?  I’m guessing the Nation Associations of Realtors or something to that effect, as well as Bank of America/Countrywide.  I’m not smart but by raising the ceiling on what a Jumbo loans is it seems that people can once again buy homes that don’t deserve them.  AHHHHH, but this time, the government sponsored Fannie and Freddie can take the donkey punch instead of the lenders…no?

I just don’t see Bin Laden penetrating our government the way the Chinese just did…

WASHINGTON – A Defense Department analyst and a former engineer for Boeing Co. were charged Monday in separate cases with selling military secrets to the Chinese government, the Justice Department said.

but hey, the surge is working and we are all safer from the evwil terwowists!

Take a look over his shoulder.

Oh and speaking of assholes, Aetna pulls full sedation coverage for colonoscopies. So the next time you get something rammed up your asshole at the doctors office, plan on being awake for it.

“Maverick” McCain first elected to public office in 1982.

“Maverick” McCastle first elected to public office in 1965.

That’s a combined total of 67 MAVERICK years in office.

If you just count time spent in DC for MAVERICK time keeping sake, it is 40 years of Mavericking!

Does it occur to anyone that maybe “maverick” doesn’t mean what McCastle & McCain think it means?

Bonus Round: Great Moments in Maverickocity

McCain had been playing “Our Country” and “Pink Houses”, but John Mellencamp has had enough and asked the Maverick refrain from using his songs. Being the Maverick that he is, McCain honored his request and promptly dropped the songs from his playlist.

Apalling is the right word for it. Read Daily Delaware.

There are a lot of TV shows that exploit people.  At least the people exploited by “Extreme Home Makeover” get something out of it.
